The NFL Network has apologized for airing a profanity screamedby Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels.

McDaniels was yelling at his players on the sidelines during their win Thursday night over the New York Giants.

Following a commercial break, McDaniels screamed: "All we're trying to do is win a [expletive] game!"

The outburst directed toward McDaniels' offensive players should have been bleeped out with a seven-second delay, a production error that made the network look less than big-league.

It wasn't even a live clip, further compounding the screwup.

"It's the NFL Network," McDaniels told reporters. "It doesn't surprise me."

The league-owned network apologized for the snafu.

"We wish we could have caught it," NFL Network executive producer Eric Weinberger said. "We apologize for ever airing anything like that, absolutely. Especially on Thanksgiving. It's a mistake."

"No one heard it as it was said. It would never have been aired," Weinberger said. "It was at the end of a clip, so we missed it."

Weinberger added that no one in the production truck heard it, so it wasn't intentional. McDaniel wasn't miked up, but the sound was picked up by sideline cameras.

"We're not in this business to do that," Weinberger said. "We're in this business to show sports and to show the most emotion that we can show. And the guy is an incredibly emotional, passionate guy."
